2 Samuel 4:8-12

[8] And they brought  the head  of Ishbosheth  unto David  to Hebron,  and said  to the king,  Behold the head  of Ishbosheth  the son  of Saul  thine enemy,  which sought  thy life;  and the LORD  hath  avenged  my lord  the king  this day  of Saul,  and of his seed.  [9] And David  answered  Rechab  and Baanah  his brother,  the sons  of Rimmon  the Beerothite,  and said  unto them, As the LORD  liveth,  who hath redeemed  my soul  out of all adversity,  [10] When one told  me, saying,  Behold, Saul  is dead,  thinking to have brought  good tidings,  I took hold  of him, and slew  him in Ziklag,  who thought that I would have given  him a reward for his tidings:  [11] How much more, when wicked  have slain  a righteous  person  in his own house  upon his bed?  shall I not therefore now require  his blood  of your hand,  and take you away  from the earth?  [12] And David  commanded  his young men,  and they slew  them, and cut off  their hands  and their feet,  and hanged them up  over the pool  in Hebron.  But they took  the head  of Ishbosheth,  and buried  it in the sepulchre  of Abner  in Hebron.
